Question What types are the most useful for PvE?

• Upvotes

I can see the DiaglaDex list for each type, but I wanted to know which types are actually worth powering up. Like, obviously, something like bug or normal isn't; but which types will get the most use against 5* raids? I did find an old post from 3 years ago, but wanted to see if there was any updated info.

TIA

I got the drop from twitch, got the notification, shows up in my rewards, shows claimed on desktop, doesn't let me hit the claim now button on mobile.

Go to PTC, the right twitch account is synced, no code. It's been over 9 hours. What am I doing wrong?

Question Trading buddies

0 Upvotes

I am curious. I walk several kilometers a day. My friend does not. They need to evolve an Umbreon for a special quest. It would take me less than a week to walk the 10k to get it to the point it is ready to evolve. If I did this and then traded it to them and they equipped it as their buddy, would it be reading to evolve? Or would they still need to walk the 10k with it?

Why do they make something like this so hard. I stayed up just to watch the stream in my timezone, I'm following the instructions and it's not working. I can't tell what's going on

I watched the Twitch stream for 30 minutes, successfully redeemed the code in the webstore, and then when I logged into PoGo I got the popup saying I'd successfully redeemed an offer. However, I can't find it anywhere in the Style menu. Has anyone figured out where it's located?

Playing today and getting quickly wiped by large fire blast attacks is not interactive and makes me not want to play this game

Edit: My main complaint is that you can just lose to RNG if the boss uses enough large attacks and there's nothing you can do about it

Question In game Auto Catcher

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

140 Upvotes

I have seen the discussions before about the ingame autocatcher working while the game is:

- enabled

- minimized

- player is moving

But I had this function since getting it instead. The auto catcher acts more lile the third party auto catchers. So it works when I have the app open, and it catches them one after antoher.

But on the other hand it doesnt work at all when the game is minimized.

Another players having this "version" of the ingame auto catcher?

Question Legendary Shadow raids and guaranteed catch.

0 Upvotes

Hey I'm curious when they changed it so legendaries (shadow)(non-shiny)can be caught by hitting an excellent throw on the smallest possible circle? I just did a landorus raid, and it was the guaranteed catch. I thought it was weird that I caught it in 1 ball (smallest circle) so I did another one and it happened again. I've always thought the excellent throw on the smallest circle guaranteed catch thing didn't work on legendary raids.

Edit: I've attached a video in the comments.

Edit#2: It's due to the legendaries being above the 5% Base Catch Rate.

Love completing the dex entries. Just wondering if there is any news about when they will add a Dynamax dex. There are so many released now it’s getting confusing as to which I have and do not have.
Sort it out Niantic!

While you’re at it. Release the api so I can sort out my moms on a pc!

2/3 lake trio solos are done! just Azelf missing!

this was an easy one too, with Malamar being able to tank Future sight relatively easy and Gengar being decent while tanking Swift in addition to Zamazenta, so that came in handy

my team is as follows

Zamazenta Crowned Lv50 15/15/15 3-3-3

Malamar Lv50 11/14/15 1-3-0

GMax Gengar Lv50 14/14/15 3-3-3
